Résumé:
From the tunnels of Gaza to the militarized airspace of the Occupied Territories, Eyal Weizman unravels Israel's mechanisms of control and its transformation of Palestinian towns, villages and roads into an artifice where all natural and built features serve military ends. Weizman traces the development of this strategy, from the influence of archaeology on urban planning, Ariel Sharon's reconceptualization of military defence during the 1973 war, through the planning and architecture of the settlements, to the contemporary Israeli discourse and practice of urban warfare and airborne targeted assassinations. Hollow Land lays bare the political system at the heart of this complex and terrifying project of late-modern colonial occupation.

Résumé:
This publication offers the first comprehensive study in English of Baldassare Longhena (1598–1682), the indispensable architect of the Venetian Baroque. While Longhena's legacy is most visible in his iconic Madonna della Salute, the 17th-century basilica devoted to the Virgin Mary in gratitude for Venice's deliverance from the plague, and in the Pesaro and Rezzonico palaces along the Grand Canal, he created a plethora of other works over the course of a career that spanned half a century. Andrew Hopkins's thought-provoking text considers the full span of Longhena's illustrious career, from his monumental staircases and libraries to the palaces commissioned by private patrons and his projects for Venice's Greek and Jewish communities. This lively account is accompanied by more than sixty color and 300 black-and-white photographs commissioned especially for the book. A complete list of Longhena's work is included in an appendix.

The geometric foundations, forms, and patterns in today’s architecture, design and, decorative arts can trace their origins in past cultures.

Résumé:
The geometric foundations, forms, and patterns in today’s architecture, design and, decorative arts can trace their origins in past cultures. From humankind’s first path-like doodles on cave walls through to the higher abstractions developed to make accurate measurements and predictions, the three-dimensional forms we design and build have always been dependent on available materials, human needs, and the limits of our imaginations. "3D Thinking in Design and Architecture" tells the story of the intimate relationship between geometry, mathematics and man-made design throughout human history, from the Neolithic period through the Indian, Egyptian, Babylonian, Chinese, Greek, Celtic, Islamic and Renaissance cultures, to the present and the possible future. Presenting key principles that can be applied across all design disciplines, design expert Roger Burrows relates how geometry as a visual language has evolved to meet our needs, initiated new technologies, and changed the way we think about the world around us.

Résumé:
Sur le thème de " Projeter ensemble " des étudiants en architecture et d'autres en génie civil ont travaillé à renouveler les techniques constructives et les répertoires formels liés à l'utilisation du bois et à affirmer les valeurs " traditionnelles " de la construction en bois qui peuvent contribuer à favoriser une expansion de l'utilisation du matériau dans la construction contemporaine. II s'agit, encore et toujours, d'affirmer les principes de " longue durée " à la base de l'idée même de la modernité : " moderne est ce qui dure ". Cet album témoigne ainsi des travaux réalisés au sein du Laboratoire de construction en bois (IBOIS) de l'Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne. Le premier volet présente ceux où le matériau bois est mis en oeuvre en mettant l'accent sur sa fonction structurelle. La deuxième partie traite de l'analyse d'ouvrages historiques construits en bois. La troisième est consacrée à la conception de bâtiments pour lesquels la forme et la structure sont intimement liées et expriment la substance même du concept architectural.
